Laura Mercier Artist's Palette for Eyes (2015 edition)

I freely admit that I'm a makeup addict, and eyeshadow palettes are my drug of choice.  There's something about pretty, shimmery shades promising a smooth, buttery texture that gets me every time  And when I see "limited edition" in a palette's title, I start to get heart palpitations and lose the ability to think rationally.  So when I heard that Laura Mercier was re-releasing this baby from the holiday 2013 collection, the decision to purchase was nearly instantaneous.  After all, Temptalia gave it an "A," and I generally take her word as gospel.   

The image above is from Sephora's current listing and appears identical to the 2013 version of the palette.  The palette I received today, however, looks like this: 

The shade selection is the same as the 2013 palette, but the pebbly texture of the 2013 palette is replaced by this floral design.  I have to say that I much prefer the elegant simplicity of the original design.  Something about the packaging of the 2015 palette feels a bit cheap, which is especially frustrating considering it's now $7 more expensive!  

Hopefully the performance of the shadows will compensate for the change in packaging!  

The palette is currently available at Sephora for $55.

Lilly Pulitzer for Target Colour Riche Lippies!

For her collab with Target, Lilly Pulitzer is bringing us nine repackaged shades of the L'Oreal Colour Riche liquid lipsticks.  Eight of the shades are from the permanent line of sixteen - the shade "Coral" appears to be the only new shade.  I really love the smell and texture of the range, so I was delighted to see the packaging get an upgrade.  Come on, gold and paisley together?  I die.
